Rayna - Jak na to + styl
the amount of love….i’m overwhelmed. i really can’t put into words how much i appreciate your support, your comments, your dms, your time that you take to watch what i upload, your trust and your overall love. someone even sent me MONEY. like what??? you simply don’t have to but yall do and i value you so much. reading your comments has been overwhelming, but in a good way. i really don’t have the words to say right now but thank you and i love yall. anyway, my masacara is running and it ain’t waterproof!!!!! so get it together!!!! lol. new upload is going up tomorrow! hope to see you there!! ❤️ WE BACK!
Everything about you.... OOOOOOOUUU WEEEEEEEE.... I LOVE everything about you!! Keep standing in your TRUTH! Keep allowing God to shine through you while you keep being unapologetically YOU! I am so honored to be one of your subscribers and one of your big SistaGirlFriends!!💜💜💜💜
I love your transparency, your light, the God in you has shined through since the beginning, even though you may feel that you masked our father you truly didn’t. God Bless you and keep shining
Hi you just spoke volumes in my life 🥲 Can you tell me what you use for your channel? Ring light,cameras,etc.
You are who you need to be and I have appreciated you so much. Anyone with overly opinionated feedback is speaking from a hurt place that has zero to do with you. You feel deeply and so naturally all and I mean All people are drawn to your energy. As a therapist who had to learn this very lesson, I hear you and I see you. Keep going! ❤
“Your vibe attracts your tribe.” Those who align with you authentically will gravitate and stay. Personally, I adore your Godly energy and jokes. It’s refreshing and modern. And I downloaded all the songs on the playlist you shared (OKUR 👏🏾). We need you and love you! Please be your most vibrant and honest self.
You better say that❣️
As someone who was Christian stopped being Christian from church hurt and am slowly reconnecting with faith, I’m deeply proud of you. Authenticity is hard. Even for us young folks we just pretend we okay most times. I appreciate who you are even if it’s “churchy” because it’s clear that you live in love which matters the most♥️
That is so heartbreaking to hear. I’m sorry that happened. I’ve definetly hurt people in and outside the church sadly. But we can’t look to others to strengthen our faith. We must fix our eyes on Christ. But when we do hurt each other, we must go to one another and forgive just as Jesus forgives us. It is sad because God says that unbelievers will see that we are Christians by our love yet, people in the church hurt others. Praying that the Lord would heal you from that hurt as you continue to follow Him and that He would lead you to a good biblical church and make some good friends there💖✝️
First and foremost… Shout out to all the “early” millennials. Most of us have Baby-Boomer parents, possibly Generation X siblings & cousins, so there’s a lot going on for us. You are absolutely right about how we were brought up, to “ keep your business out the street “ and keep pushing…there was no time to be vulnerable. But through doing the “ work “ we learn to give ourselves grace, and to be vulnerable isn’t a show of weakness. It’s strength!! It takes strength to speak, stand and live in your truth. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ma'am!! I relate to this so much! Struggling with what social media "requires" from us to stand out these days, vs. valuing my PRIVACY!! I don't want to vlog my house, I don't want to discuss my marriage... I love natural hair content and I don't want to switch niches.... but relatability and vulnerability is the name of the game 🥴Have to ask myself how much being private is holding me back 🥲
“Vulnerability is not a weakness. Vulnerability is a strength.” 👏🏽 Thank you for sharing - you are pioneering what strength truly looks like. Unapologetically being who God made us to be and holding our heads held high. God is bigger than any fear this life can throw at us. Walk heavy sis!
I'm 51 and still trying to learn to let go of fear and be vulnerable, but it's coming I feel it. We stand with you. Much love and blessings. I'm rocking with your channel no matter what.❤
Interesting enough, I started following you because I’m a church girl who was able to discern someone who had a heart similar to mine. We have to be reminded that God placed us where we are the way we are because we are needed there. It is challenging when we do not “align” with others but that does not negate the face that this place was created for you by Him!!!! You are fearfully and wonderfully made. That’s it ❤
I love your comment! I have wondered why I've met some of the peoole I have. Worked the jobs I have when they aren't in my field. Nor anything close to what I like to do. I have met sone amazing people along the way. A lot of times we think people are coming into our lives for a reason or purpose. I have come to realize that sometimes it's both ways but mostly it's for the other individual. I say for them because we are travelers. We are givers. That's why our hearts get hurt when we know that all we want to do is help people. Inspire them. Give them something we didnt have but dont't want them to go without experiencing. I have llearned a lot about myself and im thankful for my growth. Remain true to yourself. Never try to be anyone else, like anyone else. #GODSPLANFORYOUISONLYFORYOU
Same! I followed her for the same reason.
Bullies are real, but we can be reminded that we are not wrestling with people, but with spiritual forces. I believe you will be relatable to the right people and God's spirit in you will draw those who need your gift to influence their lives. Thank you for your honesty. I've had this same struggle and I'm 45.❤
38yrs old church girl, introvert, mom of a teenager here…love your jokes and your quirky. Be you, all of you ❤️ I’ll be watching as always.
The courage that it takes to publicly tell people that you’re not okay is huge! This video is exactly what I needed; because I’m also someone who constantly lets fear keep me from being myself. I can’t wait to see you be authentically you😁💝
I love who you are on your channel❤please don't leave that part out...I'm a church girl too... the goof church play is funny and relateable...when you group up in church... you get it 😂
Anybody who watches you knows darn well you are a church girl! It's right there, and we love you for it! You don't have to share any more than you're ready to. 💞
You are so special Rayna! Your uniqueness is needed out here for women like me. You’ve always been a favorite of mine because you are a church girl and, between that and your edits, you keep me hollering! 😂
Thank you for being vulner-🤢 lol! Please continue being you! We need you! Sending much love to you girl!! ❤
It’s followers like me and many more that understand your goofy and understand your church going ways, we are here for you and we love you Rayna and we get you. The few naysayers are just that but your real followers understand you ❤ I myself am not a church person…but somehow I connect with you I understand you…I sometimes shout with you and laugh when you bust out speaking in tongue. We are your people, please share and thank you for being vulnerable with us.
I started following you for your humor and love for Christ plus, not everyone is for you.
Thank you for your encouragement sis. This was needed. ❤
From church kid to church kid, I 💯 % relate with you. I appreciate when you post faith videos because I het to see someone like me. A cogic black woman who is saved, but goofy too. I love your content and I appreciate your realness and no you don't have to share everything. What you do share, is appreciated 🖤
If people un follow you for being yourself, they are not your people! You are beautiful, thank you for being vulnerable, now walk in the blessings!
Darkness can't stand the light; keep shining your light for those of us who enjoy your content. You can talk about God all you want and it wouldn't bother me at all. ❤
Girlllll…. I thank you for being vulnerable(as hard as it was) and transparent. This was greatly appreciated and I feel like you confirmed what us OG’s knew about you. You love God and ain’t no shame in that. You have helped me with a LOT, I relate to you on so many levels. Thank you!!! I love you sis and I’m proud of you! ✌🏽&🫶🏽
You are a light! People are insecure within themselves so they project on others. Do you and continue to walk with God ❤
I just turned 50 and you are just so real to me I love your energy….people are going to be people and really don’t even care what they say and how it may or may not affect someone…..common decency and common sense…..I watch because I love you and enjoy your content stay being you and I’m praying with you and for all glory to God Almighty 🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰🥰😍😍
Thank you Rayna!!!! 40 here and I love the Lord too and needed this word. Thank you for your obedience and transparency! Goodbye fear!!!
RAYNA, you posted this for me. I can definitely relate to everything you said. Thank you for being obedient to the voice of God and being vulnerable to share your truth.
So interesting you spoke on comparison. Just recently the Holy Spirit told me to stop comparing myself to others!! It has blessed me in so many ways ❤ confirmation 🙌🏽 Love you Rayna and I'm here to stay. You have helped me on my hair journey and if anything you acknowledging God is a plus not a negative. So whoever stops following because of that so be it👌🏽 He will replace them ‼️
❤❤❤❤LOVED this!!! Period. “Older Saint here”…Been watching you in silence for YEARS. Because of your obedience, God will bless you beyond your imagination!
You have me in my feelings. Be your authentic self… your personality is infectious and it shows in your videos. those who love you and your channel will remain. ❤️
Girl yes! Welcome back!!! Thank you for being vulner🤮able…I received the message and I’m happy that you are speaking about this…your channel has been a source of not just hair knowledge but your platform is relatable to me and I truly enjoy the laughs your content brings! Can’t wait to see you back on here! ❤
Whew chile!!! So relatable and I'm boohooing with you sis! Thank you for sharing!! So glad I clicked on this video today...God knew I needed to hear this and it was confirmation on what I've been struggling with. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and a sound mind."
🥹Thank You for being a light and transparent so “REAL!” I would forever be a supporter 🤘🏽💕
This came right on time! This is 100% confirmation for me. Thank you God and thank you Rayna for taking this leap of faith and showing us “you” ❤
Rayn gang! I've been rocking with you since I started my natural hair journey during the pandemic. I'm in my late 40's and your content has always been an uplifting vibe. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Most of us (if not all) know how important The Most High is in your life. Those that can't handle that, God will open the door of the nearest exit for them lol. They are not part of your tribe. Any one that would take the time to write "I unfollow", is coming from a negative place and has issues in their life they need to work on. That's their problem not yours. I don't listen to much mainstream music because it's low vibe. I listen to artist like Jimpster, India Shawn, Alex Cortiz, Lisa Shaw, Blue Six. Being an empath (as I believe you are to) it's the energy and the emotion in the music that is important for maintaining spiritual alignment. There is a quote I've been using to work on my own fears " I see fear for what it really is.....an illusion". It is our conscious mind that creates fear. So continue to be your authentic self and the "unfollowers" of the world will fall to the left as they should.. Love 💗 and blessings 🙏
Thank You Rayna for sharing this!! ❤
I absolutely love the transparency! This was so good. God is good! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Preach sis. This is more relatable than you know. ❤❤ We didn’t grow up like them. 🤣
I needed to hear this. I jumped on to listen to a sermon and I remembered I wanted to watch this because I saw when you posted yesterday. I’ve been struggling with being vulnerable as well and this was an affirmation for me. I love you so much, thank you for listening to Thee Lord 🧡
Rayna, I love you for sharing this. I have been a fan and subscriber for years. I just want to share these few words with you," Know who you are, and know that you are ENOUGH!" Be strong, keep moving forward, you will be okay hun💚
God has you!! and you got this!🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰
Rayna! Thank you for this!! I needed the reminder to NOT walk in fear.
Love, love, love, you and your content just the way it is and with whatever you want to add!! Continue to be encouraged and know that you encourage others (including me). Looking forward to your new chapter sis!! Oh and besides the natural hair content, I LIVE for how open you’ve been about your love for God! Keep it coming!!
Sis thank you for being vulnerable and opening up to us. I truly believe it’s the Holy Spirit that drove you to do this video. Those subscribers that unsubscribed to your channel because the fact that you glorified God that’s their lost and I pray that they will one day find God. Speak about God, brag about God, boast about His goodness. Sis I’m here for it all 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You got this Sis❤️ Your real one's understand. We gonna ride it out with ya! You stuck with us🤗
Thank you so much for sharing this. It can get tough to stay authentic. This was so encouraging. Thank you for being vulnerable 😊
Sis, be you, no matter what, authentically! RaynGang gon always be here for you! ❤❤❤❤ Love you and appreciate you for all your vulnerability!
Thank you for making this video. You have touched so many by being genuine! Please don't change. You are special and needed. ❤
I feel the same and I’m struggling with the same! I just started and it’s hard growing on these platforms. I’m not going to give up and just figure it out as I go! Thanks for this!
From the first video I watched until now…. I love your channel for this reason! Thank you for being real with us and putting yourself out there… I’m also a millennial and you’re so right… we’re definitely introverted because this isn’t how we came up,.. Internet became popular my first year in high school. I’m sure your transparency is going to help some people…it’s already helped me! Keep pushing and praising… he will continue to bless you❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this❣️ I needed it ✨
Love this video !!! I just want to say that first of all your Playlist truly blessed me. And this is coming from someone that feels like I'm not "Churchy" enough. Because you posted it during a time when I myself was refraining from secular music and it really came in right on time and helped me to discover dope artists that I did not know. So thank you.
love this Rayna! so happy for you standing in your truth and showing the world who you truly are.
From one PK to another…continue to shine bright! I always look forward to your videos and I look forward to what you have coming up next for us! ❤
Wow this brought me to tears, it’s so relatable. I’m happy that you made a breakthrough and look forward to the expansion of what you’ll share across platforms 💫
Thank you for sharing!! You have been one of my favorite content creators, and I stand with you regardless. You have always been very genuine and authentic. ❤❤
Thank you Rayna❤ for sharing sis! Love your content we love you girly we got you sis God bless you thank you for being honest and transparent.
Thanks, Rayna. I needed to hear this. I can relate to much of what you've shared & I appreciate you. I try not to miss Jess as well. I will be tuning in. Love you too, sis! ❤
I love your transparency and I also love your content! Be yourself always! Take all of the time that you need and when you do content do it the way you want to do it and your real fans will be here! 🙏🏾 4 U!!!!! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!!!
SO proud of you sis!! Ive definitely noticed the tides have changed in these CZcams skreets as more and more creators are coming to grips with the fact that authentic content and realness are what the viewers connect with and see more of. Im reiviving my UBER dead, dusty crusty channel at the top of the year, and making myself get outside my comfort zone. Will be praying for you sis! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for being vulnerable! I relate so much, and I'm currently on the journey on trying to not walk in fear. It's not easy at all but your video is very encouraging ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This hit here, mama! Thank you SO much for your honesty in this space 😌. Definitely pulled back in so many of the same ways waaaay earlier. Knowing there can be so many eyes on you at one time with something to say is haaaaard. So grateful for your faithfulness in pushing through but also for slowing down when you needed to. God has grown you in grace over the years and He’ll continue to keep you ❤
Rayna, thank you for sharing this video!! It encouraged me so much and I want to encourage you to just keep letting your light shine. Everything you said is so true and there are people who need you to just be you as you are (including me!). Looking forward to more videos from you ☺️💗💗
Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability!! I appreciate this!! Don’t stop being you! Keep shining and don’t allow anyone to cause you to dim your light.❤
Amen SIS!!! Thank you for being obedience….I needed to hear that AGAIN…”stop walking in fear!” I look forward to seeing MORE ❤
I needed this for myself, thank you for being vulnerable ❤
❤❤❤ this resonates with me so much right now. You are not alone. Thank you for sharing your truth.
I felt this. *clutching my chest and closing my eyes* Please keep being you because authenticity is necessary! Shout out to the introverted goofy folks who love to laugh and surround themselves with whom and with whatever fulfills them. Keep ‘em coming Rayna! I wish you continued blessings in 2024! 💕
After the year I’ve had, I needed this. Thank you ❤
For starters I have been following you for years now, I didn’t click on this video it just started to play while getting ready, but this has really blessed me and I definitely needed to hear it. I am struggling with the same thing of being true to myself and being authentically me, I’m tired of trying to please people. So Thank you Rayna for sharing your testimony and being such a blessing throughout the years ❤
Thank you Rayna!! I love you and thank God for you! So proud of you! You walking in who you really are is beautiful and inspiring! Can’t wait to see what’s next !
Raynaaaa! You’ve always been like my big sister in my head 🥹 but I needed this so much. I appreciate your vulnerability. Your spirit has always been beautiful 💕. This was further confirmation for me from God to not be afraid. To feel the fear and do it anyway. WHEW JESUS 😮💨🙌🏾
Thank you for being such a light❤️❤️
Oooo girl you went in deep!! I’m sooo glad you mentioned only one Jess bc she definitely went off in that video. I know exactly what you’re talking about!!! And you’re making a lot of sense, I appreciate you doing this !!
I love this for you and if you rocking, we rollin!!! ❤❤❤ You are one of the people I watched that made me want to start my channel in the first place and now you’ve inspired me to keep going. Thank you ❤
Girl, love yo channel! Love and blessings to you!
So proud of you for opening up and speaking your truth. I'm #TeamRayna all day!!! 💛
I definitely needed this video. Thank you for your vulnerability. Sending positive vibes 🫶🏽🙏🏽❤❤
Ain't it beautiful when we come to the end of ourselves and realize the limits are only in our head and not our reality!!! There is a whole community of ppl who need you & love you! I look forward to whatever new pivot you go on. Thanks for sharing! Signed another forever subscriber ❤
Wow. I love this first sentence. ❤❤❤
This! I really needed this , I really appreciate your vulnerability.
"I hope I help just one person." Sis, I am the one...Thank you for sharing but I thank the Lord for speaking through you.
Thank you for your transparency. Meeting you was a top 3 highlight this year. Keep being you and we will keep rocking with you! You’re one of my favorite content creators simply because you are different and your love for God is what has kept me here. Love ya Rayna❤ keep being a light
You are a beautiful and authentic creator. I’ve watched you for years! Your videos brighten my day! Your comedic delivery in all that you do keeps me watching. No matter what you do in life, you will have people that identify with you and support you, and then you will have some that don’t identify and don’t support. The key is to continue being your authentic self, with what you want to share. I love your natural hair videos because I’ve learned so much from you over the years. Continue to be great and blessed! I will always support!
When I started my natural hair journey your channel was one of few that stood out to me. When they say your vibe attracts your tribe...you are the vibe. I don't feel like I am watching a stranger, I feel like I am watching a friend. Thank you for sharing your truth, it touched me in ways that I can't even explain. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next. And I am with you with the teenage daughter! I have 2, 15 and 16 and let me tell you I was NOT ready! lol Rayna, you are love and you are loved! Thank you for always sharing!
I've been watching for 2 or 3 years, and this was so encouraging. Sending hugs, prayers, and gratitude for this. Thank you.
I’m so happy for you Rayna. Thank you for sharing this, it has confirmed to me that I need to trust God more and step out on faith. Walk what I talk! Thank you again for being transparent and happy to be along for the journey 🫶🏾🤎
Love you Girl! We're still here! Praying for you. God bless you and your family. ❤
Love you and all of your content. Thank you! ❤ Amend!
Love you. Love your content. I follow you here on CZcams for your hair vids, but I knew you were a PK by your prayers for your hair turning out right, your amens, and your funny speaking in tongues. LOL I LOVE IT! Be you! Let the people adjust to YOU. God shines through you.
Glad you're back! I love your channel. God got you!
All I can say is Thank You for this! This was much needed and I look forward to seeing you walk in your true existence and who God has called you to be. This hit home for me. Again Thank You!
I love all of your videos but this video was needed. I personally needed to see this. Continue to be you, all of you, the real you! I’ve learned my hair and wash n go’s because of you. Stay blessed!
Thank you for sharing sis. This is helping so many people as well as me. Watching you is a breath of fresh air cause the devil got a lot of these women caught up! Be you that’s why we are here
This was for me! Thank you! Stop walking in fear!
Ray-nuhhhh!! I’m throwing my Baptist handkerchief at you. Thank you for this and thank you for encouraging me to just be myself. I’ve been following you for years and I’m grateful for you just being you! I can’t wait to see God uses you in this next season… because He don’t play about you! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you for reminding me that even when I don’t acknowledge Him, He still sees me, loves me and wants the best for me. I cried during your video… Kay? Wishing you many blessings and all the love and support from your vibe tribe…! Also, if you want to hire me pro bono… I’ll block people for you and kick trolls out the comments 😌🙃
Thank you. You truly spoke to me today.
I loooove this video Rayna! I relate sooo much. I’m a church kid also so I know the struggle. This social media world is something else…But remember you are SET APART. And this lane is NARROW! Praying for you and your freedom journey.❤
❤❤❤❤❤ your light was shining through. That’s why I started following you all these years ago. Give yourself grace, sharing online is not easy. There’s a balance without giving away too much. 💖
These days, I think we ALL struggle with being our true selves and feeling authentic. Everything is SO "public" these days which leaves me feeling very "exposed" most of the time (if that makes sense). Your "tribe" will always gravitate towards you......we are here and love everything you share XOXOXO!!!
Just wow… I just turned 30 and one of the things I told myself was that I was leaving fear behind. It has held me back from soooooo much. I’ve compared myself to the point that I’ve minimized myself and talked myself out of many things that I believe God has been tugging on me about. I completely understood when you said you were inconsistently consistent because that’s me!! The amount of times I’ve talked myself out of sharing my gift or pursuing something that’s on my heart because of fear is ridiculous. Because like you said I know God said He hasn’t given me that spirit of fear. I said all that to say this… Rayna this video really spoke to me and I’ll even go as far as to say it ministered to me. Because I don’t want to be that scared little girl anymore I am ready to be the woman God purposed me to be. Thank you so very much for your willingness to be vulnerable and surrendering to what God has called you to. I’m super proud of you and I look forward to following your journey ❤
If you’re afraid… of anything…. The time for God is ALWAYS NOW!…. Right now! Stop masking, show who you are. If there was ever a time for a God loving hair guru, with a comedic side… then it DEFINITELY needs to be NOW! Mind you, I am walking in fear myself…. And God used YOU, to have me and so many others hear this message! I REALLY NEEDED THIS!!!! Please understand your words and actions are needed at this time. Let’s be here for each other and one another. Putting God first! Amen? AMEN! 🙏🏾 ❤🥰
The last part of your video was the most profound and was what I needed to hear most. Thank you for your obedience... we ride TONIGHT! 🐎🐎😂💕
I appreciate this so much. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us….well for God. Be you!! You and Jess be blessing me! God bless you, your family and all that you do!❤️
Awww love you for being transparent. Thank you .
